poke, do games w [Rumor] Embracer reportedly considering selling Borderlands developer Gearbox

I hope Risk of Rain makes it out of this alright.

dudewitbow,

Gearbox only owns the IP, not the studio. So although ROR could die with gearbox, theres nothing stopping the dev from making a spiritual sucessor.

epicsninja, do games w Starfield overtakes Skyrim with concurrent Steam players

Reckon a lot more people are playing on Gamepass then on Steam.

Lazz45,

I do not know a single person IRL who has purchased this game (across multiple platforms). We all played and love to this day, Skyrim, FO3, FO:NV (my friends like FO4, it wasn’t for me personally, I found the story incredibly boring…the dogshit performance on release also never helped). So I am wondering what their gamepass numbers are vs. full purchases. Steam (the numbers cited in the article) would be purchases, but I would be interested one day to see the split of gamepass to purchase users

geosoco,

I'd bet a sizable portion of steam numbers aren't purchases either. AMD was running the promo such that anyone buying AMD hardware from like July onwards got a free copy.

Lazz45,

Actually a very fair point, and something that I do in fact find interesting is that it hasn’t breached FO4’s numbers. That game burned me so fucking hard lol. I bought that pile of shit at full price (last game I ever purchased at launch), and it ran SOOOOOO bad. Like less than 20 fps in any city bad. I tried to push through the framerate/bugs to get to the good and for me it just never came. I dropped that game after 1 playthrough and I have 0 desire at all to ever pick it up again. I have replayed skyrim (heavily modded at this point) and FO:NV (FO3 didnt work right on my W10 machine, i wonder if it works now with W11 and compatibility mode. I would replay that for sure), but I think with FO4 the charm had worn off. Playing a game that felt like oblivion [Not in a literal sense, but in the “its a bethesda RPG” sense] (with shitty quest writing) in the modern day at sub 20 fps for the price of $60 was one hell of a wakeup call.

So all of that is to say, I find it surprising that their new flagship has not beaten FO4’s numbers. Perhaps they burned a lot more people than just me?

ExploratrixLunae,

I'm playing Starfield on gamepass. Fallout 4 was similarly a wakeup call for me: I had pre-ordered it and was mostly disappointed by it. I occasionally try replaying it, but that disappointment sticks with me to this day. This is coming from someone whose first major gaming experience on PC was with Oblivion (which I still play to-date).

So yeah - I'm with you on not buying Starfield new because of FO4's poor showing. I am enjoying it well enough that I may buy it someday (kinda wish I had gotten a GPU bundle including it just because I've been ready to upgrade for a long time), but I'm not in any rush to do so. I just knew I wasn't going to be as interested in it as I was with other Bethesda games of the past.

As an aside, I hope FO3 works better for you these days. A year or two back, Bethesda patched the Steam version to remove the Games for Windows Live requirement, which had foiled many attempted replays of mine (particularly when I made the move to Linux). Now it runs perfectly well.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's director hasn't completely ruled out DLC

Seemingly going back on what they have already said in the past.

Trying to milk the success now that the honeymoon period is over and complaints are being top news.

The studio is already working of their next title. DLC would mean putting more people on the satellite team. Large doubt it’s going to be anything other than characters.

FinalBoy1975, do xbox w Here are some of the funniest Starfield glitches, from headless NPCs to breakdancing pirates

I don’t know about who else didn’t pay 70 bucks for this game, but I’m glad I didn’t pay 70 bucks for this game.

It’s a Bethesda game, what did you expect? ;)

I haven’t started it yet, but if past experience is any indication, the Xbox version should be far less buggy.

This is great!

Boiglenoight, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

Cool! Despite its age, I’m still loving the Switch. Best all around library of consistently good games, at least single/local multiplayer.

bfg9k, do games w E3 2024 in doubt, as organiser exits and location abandoned

All the things we looked forward to in our childhood are all slowly slipping away.

I am not enjoying getting old.

I need more bugs…

HidingCat, do games w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

Loved the RPS interview with him. Went all out to confront him.

Ascyron,

Holy shit I just read it and… Wow. I am never, ever, ever in my life buying a game that Peter Molyneux has involved in.

satrack,

That was a trainwreck, Holy shit

MrScottyTay,

The People Make Games interview is interesting too

Graphine, do games w Starfield players create famous faces in-game, and a Todd Howard flashlight

I love this fucking game.

comedy, do games w Starfield players create famous faces in-game, and a Todd Howard flashlight
@comedy@kbin.social avatar

Holy shit that person who did Todd Howard was spot on

Patariki,

Yes that’s the only one that looked the part. The others are hardly recognisable.

wccrawford,

Yeah, most of them are “we have X at home” quality.

rDrDr,

Pretty sure it said that one was fake.

one fan took matters into their own hands to create a concept of what he may look like - outside of the game itself.

cloudless, do games w Staying up and "bingeing" Starfield "literally saved" this player's life
@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

I saved my life by sleeping and not playing Starfield at all. Checkmate.

Monomate, do games w The Chinese Room is developing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

I may be going crazy, but wasn’t this game in development hell by another company, then changed companies mid-development and has stayed in dev-hell since?

Everblue,

Yeah, it was almost close to release and apparently it was a tire fire. Who knows how much of the original they kept. I really hope it’s good, the first bloodlines was a blast if you ignored or modded out the bugs.

Question: why was Disney involved in the negotiation regarding video games? afaik they currently don’t own any studios nor publishers.

Edit: they do, I just thought they didn’t

@sodiumbromley@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Disney has been involved with video games since the late 80s. Recently they were involved with Disney Dreamlight Valley and the new Illusion Island.

MixedRaceHumanAI,

All I want for Disney is to finish Split/Second.

Be careful what you wish for. We all really wanted Kingdom Hearts 3

Theharpyeagle,

Hey, Kingdom Hearts 3 was… alright!

Theharpyeagle,

Oh wow, I totally forgot about that game until now. Loved it, though! Now I need to dig it back up and play it…

yetAnotherUser,

Thanks. It’s just that I was confused because they shut down Disney Interactive a few years ago.

Bluefold,

Not even to mention the Star Wars games, any Marvel games, the new indie game, the Avatar game from Ubi. They might not have any active in-house studios but they are quite active in giving the rights to studios for their franchises.
